I would like to receive location information periodically (1 minute).

Your Environment

• Plugin version: 4.17.1
• Platform: Android
• OS version: 10
• Device manufacturer / model:
• React Native version (react-native -v): 0.72.6
• Plugin config

heartbeatInterval: 60,

BackgroundGeolocation.onHeartbeat(event => {
        console.log('[onHeartbeat] ', dayjs().format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss'), event);
        BackgroundGeolocation.getCurrentPosition({
          timeout: 30,
          maximumAge: 5000,
          samples: 1,
        }).then(location => {
          console.log('[getCurrentPosition] ', location);
        });
      }),

Expected Behavior

It was implemented to receive location information every minute using heartbeat, but there are many cases where location information cannot be received within 1 minute.

Is there a way to receive location information with less error every minute?

Does heartbeat accuracy increase when the scheduleUseAlarmManager option is specified?

No

@christocracy So, is there a way to periodically receive location information?

is there a way to periodically receive location information?

Yes, that's what react-native-background-fetch is for (already included as a dependency). See its README.

In your BackgroundFetch callback function, you're free to do anything you want, including BackgroundGeolocaiton.getCurrentPosition(options).

You'll never get a location "every minutes" while the device is stationary.
